the stadium, but I remember thinking there was no contact but the defender was clearly gunning for Tanner so he should still be ejected. It doesn't much matter either way I suppose.

Kyle implying the targeting call was iffy. Thoughts?

The Board Genius

It didn't just stand, the booth confirmed it

exactly... it was textbook leading with the head...

the crown of his helmet literally followed Mangum's to the ground.

That's funny. I agree it's a stupid call the way it is written to begin with

Bob Vance

9/11/17 2:32pm

That's exactly what Kyle said.

QB slide, led with his head, impact took off QB's helmet - easy call

LV Mike

It was the easiest targeting call I have seen, ever.

Loser.

What did he last year about the one on BYU?

wapiti

9/11/17 2:33pm

Hate to see his idea of a legit one, especially given the Kai one last year.

was the definition of targeting. even utah fans have to agree that was

I was just glad it was a Utah guy who got flagged so we don't have to hear

I thought it was a good call after watching the replay. Tanner slid late, but

From what I recall, flag came in late. He was probably initially called simply

On TV it looked like his arm knocked it off at first and I was upset with the

Yeah. I had several Utes around me at the game. Very few complained aNd even

If he hadn't targeted him with his helmet he probably just slides right over top

what sucks is they lost their leading tackler and we still didn't move the ball

johnnycarson

9/11/17 2:33pm

That's the dirtiest play I've seen in this game in 5+ years.

Lance71

9/11/17 2:33pm

I don't think it was intentional to the head (though this doesn't matter). It

I usually have a problem with most of these calls

BradioHead

9/11/17 2:35pm

Since it happened in the first half, he can play next game.

enigomo

9/11/17 2:50pm

It looked like there wasn't actual helmet to helmet contact, but the defensive player definitely lowered his helmet and

LilToney

9/11/17 2:36pm

You're wrong, the only thing that hit Tanner's helmet was the defender's helmet.

Lance71

Are sure. I'm pretty certain I didn't see contact. Granted, I've only seen the replay the few times they showed it at

LilToney

9/11/17 5:57pm

Pretty sure. They showed repeatedly in slo-mo while waiting...

Eddie

9/11/17 6:22pm

Legit call; rule is iffy.

byujdmba

9/11/17 2:36pm

Even without the targeting, he was pile-driving a sliding QB

cougarmeister

9/11/17 2:37pm

Seriously. Mangum was sliding feet-first, and the guy dove head-first into his helmet. The replays were awful. Textbook

There was nothing iffy about it. Led with crown of helmet.

The biggest iffy call was to not call the ball contacting the Ute player on the

Littlerich

9/11/17 2:40pm

Didn't touch him, and if it had, he was pushed to the ball (so it doesn't count)

displacedute

9/11/17 2:50pm

Show me the rule that it doesn't count if pushed into.

CosmoK

9/11/17 3:18pm

We were debating this at the game

BYU Fan

9/11/17 3:20pm

Looked it up. Rule 6.4, it seems.

CosmoK

9/11/17 3:23pm

Ok, that explains it

Littlerich

9/11/17 3:37pm

Yeah, I've seen that called a few times.

cougarstolz

9/11/17 3:37pm

I couldn't see conclusive evidence that the punt hit the player

BYU Fan

9/11/17 2:51pm

To answer your question, no Kyle is not good at thoughts.

Caboom

9/11/17 2:42pm

That was probably the most obvious targeting penalty ever. A sliding QB and you lower the crown of your head to make

SuperTank

9/11/17 2:44pm

Didn't he say it was definitely targeting as the rule defines it?

displacedute

9/11/17 2:45pm

Yes you did. Like usual.

Not difficult. Just lift helmet don't lead with the crown. Hanneman need to

BradioHead

He needs to rewatch it.

Eddie

I don't think that's what he was implying.

dut99002

9/11/17 2:47pm

Ha, even Hans just now called Kyle out just a little.

The Board Genius

9/11/17 2:49pm

It seems like Kyle's players have always enjoyed hitting a sliding QB

BYU Fan

9/11/17 2:52pm

He also said today that Sunia was already committed at the start of the slide.

Dwight Schr-UTE

Whit doesn't do "reasonable"

Carlos E. Queso

9/11/17 3:01pm

It was statuatory targeting; intention doesn't (and shouldn't) matter

ColoSpgs

9/11/17 2:48pm

Hillary, Comey and the FBI disagree about intent.

ByuMba90

9/11/17 2:52pm

I actually think mangum is 18 or older.

Virginia Ute

9/11/17 2:53pm

I thought it was pretty clear cut targeting. He lowered his head obviously

Virginia Ute

9/11/17 2:52pm

This is what I was thinking.

Eddie

9/11/17 3:50pm

It was. Not like he was sliding or his helmet came off or anything.
